We strive to be an unpretentious neighborhood restaurant with friendly services, a  welcoming atmosphere and an  affordable regional menu.

Welcome To Abigail’s

Michael Paulsen, Executive Chef and owner, brings 20 years of experience and enthusiasm for cooking to all aspects of the Abigail’s dining experience. “Emphasis on fresh and local ingredients and a connection to place will be the credo here. We’re speaking to our customer and neighbors through Abigail’s kitchen. The food, the decor, the size and scale of the space and our staff working together creates the ideal neighborhood dining experience. Every dish served is very important to me because there are no strangers in a small restaurant.”

In 2009 Michael realized a long-held desire and opened Abigail’s. The restaurant expresses his love of cooking and respect for the integrity of local ingredients, in a menu that is reflective of the changing seasons. With a staff that shares a common dedication and vision, Abigail’s provides a welcoming atmosphere and a fresh, flavorful menu. The best adventures aren’t always far from home.
